The Qur’an gave the news that the dead body of Pharaoh would one day be discovered.









3. In ancient Egypt, Pharaoh used to torture the Children of Israel. God sent Moses to him with the mission of inviting him to believe in One God and allow the Israelites to leave Egypt with Moses. Pharaoh refused and the struggle between them continued for a long time. However, one night Moses succeeded in marching towards the frontier with his people but Pharaoh, becoming aware of his attempt, set out to follow him. When Moses reached the Red Sea, he touched it with his staff, and a furrow opened across the sea. Pharaoh attempted to follow him, but was engulfed with his legions. While narrating this event, The Qur’an makes a very interesting prediction:

Today We shall preserve your body that you may be a sign to those after you: although most men give no heed to Our signs. (Yunus, 10.92)

The dead body of Pharaoh was later found floating on the Western shores of the Sinai peninsula. The native residents can still show you to this land, which is now known as Jabal Firawn (Hill of Pharaoh). A few miles from this hill is a hot spring called Hammam Firawn (the Bath of Pharaoh).


According to the Exodus [in the Old Testament of the Bible] - his name was Ramesis the 2nd (some disagree). According to researchers however, Ramesis the 2nd didn't drown. But in the Qur'an, there is no mention of the name Ramesis, just "Fir'awn [Pharoah]". So it could be any of the Pharoahs Prophet Moses went to, and not necessarily Ramesis II [the 2nd.]

(1) Preceding the Battle of Badr, the first and decisive confrontation with pagan Meccans in the second year of migration from Mecca in 623 CE, Prophet Muhammad foretold the precise spot every pagan Meccan soldier would fall. Those who witnessed the battle saw the prophecy come true with their own eyes.[2]

(2) Prophet Muhammad prophesized the Battle of the Confederates (al-Ahzab) would be the last invasion the tribe of Quraish (the pagan Meccans) would launch against the Muslims. It was fought in the fifth year of migration, 626 CE and was the last military conflict between the two sides. All Meccans embraced Islam after a few years.[3]

(3) The Prophet informed his daughter, Fatima, that she would be the first member of his family to die after him. There are two prophecies in one: Fatima will outlive her father; Fatima will be the first member of his household to die after him. Both were fulfilled.[4]

(4) The Prophet Muhammad prophesized Jerusalem would be conquered after his death.[5] The prophecy was fulfilled when, according to Encyclopedia Britannica: “In 638 the Muslim Caliph, Umar I, entered Jerusalem.”[6]

(5) The Prophet Muhammad prophesized the conquest of Persia.[7] It was conquered by Umar’s commander, Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqas. In the words of Encyclopedia Britannica:

“…raids into Sasanian territory were quickly taken up by Muhammad’s Caliphs, or deputies, at Medina - Abu Bakr and Umar ibn al-Khattab… an Arab victory at Al-Qadisiyyah in 636/637 was followed by the sack of the Sasanian winter capital at Ctesiphon on the Tigris. The Battle of Nahavand in 642 completed the Sasanids’ vanquishment.”[8]

(6) The Prophet Muhammad prophesized the conquest of Egypt.[9] In the words of Encyclopedia Britannica:

“Amr… undertook the invasion in 639 with a small army of some 4,000 men (later reinforced). With what seems astonishing speed the Byzantine forces were routed and had withdrawn from Egypt by 642… Various explanations have been given for the speed with which the conquest was achieved.”[10]

(7) The Prophet foretold confrontation with the Turks.[11] The first conflict took place in the caliphate of Umar in 22 AH.[12]

(8) The Prophet foretold the first maritime battle to be undertaken by Muslims would be witnessed by Umm Haram, the first woman to participate in a naval expedition. He also prophesied the first assault on Constantinople.[13]

The first maritime battle in Muslim history was in 28 AH in the rule of Mu’awiya. It was witnessed by Umm Haram as foretold by Prophet Muhammad, and Yazid ibn Mu’awiya led the first attack on Constantinople in 52 AH.[14]

(9) The prophecy that Rome, Persia, and Yemen will be conquered was made during the Battle of Confederates in 626 CE,[15] under extreme circumstances, as is described by the Quran:

“[Remember] when they came at you from above you and from below you, and when eyes shifted [in fear], and hearts reached the throats and you assumed about God [various] assumptions. There, the believers were tested and shaken with a severe shaking. And [remember] when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is disease said, ‘God and His Messenger did not promise us except delusion.’” (Quran 33:10-12)

(10) Prophet Muhammad prophesized an imposter claiming to speak in the name of God would be killed at the hands of a righteous man in Muhammad’s lifetime.[16] Al-Aswad al-Ansi, an imposter prophet in Yemen, was killed in the Prophet’s lifetime by Fayruz al-Daylami.[17]
There are at least an additional 28 prophecies pertaining to the end times which are awaiting fulfillment.

Indeed these well-documented prophecies are clear proofs of the Prophethood of Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. There is no possible way that the Prophet could have knowledge of these incidents except if it were inspired by God Himself, all in order to further prove the authenticity of the Muhammad, that he was not an imposter, but rather a Prophet raised by God to deliver humanity from Hellfire.

We can see this today, where we have wahn in our hearts - when the love of this world has entered our hearts, over the love of the hereafter [i.e. Paradise.] And we see many nations attacking the Muslims from all sides.

Where we have deviated from the religion of Allaah/God Almighty, so we have turned away from establishing Allaah's Just law on the earth. So the oppressors can oppress, and the weak stay poor. This is still taking place in the materialistic world we live in today. This is due to our extreme love for this life, even though the true life for the believers, doers of good is Paradise.

There are many Prophecies to explain why the different Muslim groups fight amongst themselves, by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him);

Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 9, Book 88, Number 180:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard the truthful and trusted by Allah (i.e., the Prophet) saying, "The destruction of my followers will be through the hands of young men from Quraish."


This hadith has been explained by the scholars, and we know that the first hereditary Khilafah/Caliphates were of Bani Umayya, then Bani Abbaas. Both these sub tribes were from the Quraish.

There was a great deal amount of turmoil and oppression during the times of these two dynasties, since each tribe wanted to get the authority and the Khilafah/Caliphate of the Muslim World. They fought against each other and there were many revolutions from both parties.




This fits the description which the Messenger of Allaah, Muhammad (peace be upon him) said;


I do not fear poverty for you. But, I fear that the world will become prosperous for you as it became prosperous for those before you. Then you will rush into it as those before you rushed into it It will then ruin you as it ruined those before you.

[Authentically Recorded in Sahih Muslim]

This is EXACTLY what happened, and this is one of the greatest reasons for our weakness as Muslims throughout history. Aswell as the believers in the nations before us.




The following ahadith explain the issue further in depth;

Narrated Abu Sa'id (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:


"Surely, you will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, in everything as one arrow resembles another, (i.e. just like them), so much so that even if they entered a hole of a sand-lizard, you would enter it."

They said, "O Allah's Messenger! Do you mean to say that we will follow the Jews and the Christians?"

He replied, "Whom else?" (meaning, of course the Jews and the Christians)."


(Recorded authentically in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Did the Jews and Christian sects fight amongst each other? Yes they did, a great deal.

Muslim reports from Thawban (May Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said:

"Allah the Most Exalted folded for me the earth, so much so that I saw its easts and wests (i.e. the extremities). The kingdom of my community will reach as far as the earth was folded for me.

The two treasures, the red (gold) and the white (silver) were bestowed on me, I prayed to my Lord that He may not destroy my community by a prevailing famine, and not give their control to an enemy who annihilates them en masse except from among themselves. My Lord said to me, 'Muhammad, if I issue a decree, it is not withdrawn; I have promised your Ummah [nation] that I will not destroy it by a prevailing famine, and I shall not give their control to an enemy -except from among themselves -who exterminates them en masse, even if they are stormed from all sides of the earth; only a section of them will destroy another section, and a section will take as prisoner another section.' "

There are a number of signs in the statement of the Prophet (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him):

• Allah folded for him (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) the east and the west (i.e. the lands under the control of Islam); the meaning of it; and that it indeed occurred as he informed; as opposed to the north and the south.

• That two treasures (i.e. treasures of Rome and Persia) were bestowed upon him.

• That two of his D'ua (invocations) on behalf of his nation have been accepted.

• That the third of his invocations was prevented.

• That the sword would be used and that it would not be lifted after that.

• That false prophets would appear among this nation (the Muslims).

• There would always be a victorious group.

• All of this occurred as he mentioned even though each one of them was far from what could have been conceived.

Al-Barqani (May Allah be pleased with him) recorded this Hadith in his Sahih and added to it the following words:

I am afraid about my community of those astray leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come until the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them asserting that he is a prophet, whereas I am the Seal of the Prophets after whom (me) there will be no Prophet; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth and they will be victorious and they will not be harmed by those who oppose them till Allah's Command comes."

Conclusion:

- We see from the many narrations of Prophecies of the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him.) It has been Prophecised that there will be amongst us (The Muslims) people who will fall into the exact same traps and patterns that the Jews and the Christians fell into. To the extent that even if they ran into a lizards hole, these Muslims would follow them!


- There will be factions of believers who will fight amongst each other, this started from the murder of Uthman (the 3rd Khalifah/Caliph, and companion of Allaah's Messenger.) The Messenger of Allah spoke the truth when he said the sword will not be withdrawn uptill the Day of Ressurection.

There is further proof in other ahadith where there are other sects like Al Khawaarij, and other less explicit ahadith which state that the Shi'a will follow Al-Dajjaal [the Anti Christ.] Which then proves this point further, because the Messiah/Christ, Jesus son of Mary will come near the end times to fight the Anti Christ. So we see that there will be sects among us even uptill that time (i.e. near the end times when the Anti Christ [Al Dajjaal] comes.)


- We also see from the narrations that Allaah has promised that the Muslims as a whole will never be eradicated, even if the whole world tried to eradicate Islam. Allaah will always allow some to remain upon the truth, who will be on the world to establish His religion which He has sent to us.

So we see that this is through the wisdom of Allaah, and without a doubt - He is the All Knowing, the Wise. We know that whatever He decrees is for our own good, even if we can't understand that good, since we are merely humans who are only aware of the present. Whereas Allaah knows what lies ahead of us, and what is behind us.


The Prophecies above then clarify that Islaam is the truth since the Prophecies have truly come into effect exactly as the final Messenger of Allaah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has Prophecised. This then further strengthens Islaam since the Messenger of Allaah/God warned us of these events already, instead of us feeling confused and doubting the events which were to come later, without any prior knowledge.

And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish."

(Qur’an 17.81)

The riches of the Muslims in the near future were Prophecised;


Muslim reports from Thawban (May Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said:


"Allah the Most Exalted folded for me the earth, so much so that I saw its easts and wests (i.e. the extremities). The kingdom of my community will reach as far as the earth was folded for me.

The two treasures, the red (gold) and the white (silver) were bestowed on me, I prayed to my Lord that He may not destroy my community by a prevailing famine, and not give their control to an enemy who annihilates them en masse except from among themselves. My Lord said to me, 'Muhammad, if I issue a decree, it is not withdrawn; I have promised your Ummah that I will not destroy it by a prevailing famine, and I shall not give their control to an enemy -except from among themselves -who exterminates them en masse, even if they are stormed from all sides of the earth; only a section of them will destroy another section, and a section will take as prisoner another section.' "


Al-Barqani (May Allah be pleased with him) recorded this Hadith in his Sahih and also mentioned the following words:

I am afraid about my community of those astray leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come until the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them asserting that he is a prophet, whereas I am the Seal of the Prophets after whom (me) there will be no Prophet; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth and they will be victorious and they will not be harmed by those who oppose them till Allah's
Command comes."

[Kitab Al Tawheed, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahaab. page 61]

In another hadith, some companions asked the Messenger of Allah about the verse in Surah Takathur [102:8];

"Then on that Day [Judgment Day] you shall be asked about the favours (you recieved in this world)".


So the sahabah asked about which favours they would be asked about;

"Oh Messenger of Allah, about which favour will we be asked? We do only have the two black things; water and dates; we are carrying our swords on our necks and facing the enemy. Therefore about which favour will we be asked?"

He (sal Allah alaihi wasalam) said; "Truly, you will witness favours in the future." [Fathul Qadeer, p.607 vol.5]

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:

The Last Hour would not come unless you fight with people whose faces are like hammered shields and the Last Hour would not come until you would fight against those wearing the shoes of hair.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until the Muslims fight with the Turks-a people whose faces would be like hammered shields wearing clothes of hair and walking (with shoes) of hair.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You shall fight in the hours to come against a nation wearing shoes made of hair and faces like hammered shields, with red complexion and small eyes.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people wearing shoes of hair and the Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people having small eyes and broad snub noses.

The prophet described the Turks Mongols who would fight his Moslem nation after his death and stated that this fight would be one of the portents of the doomsday . I have searched for photocopied pictures of the old paintings of the kings of Mongols . What I found was astounding and amazing ,these pictures are of people who were the same as prophet Mohummed described them . The peoples in the pictures had the same facial features and characteristics as prophet Mohummed described.
